(a)
Interpretation: Whether
Concept Introduction:
Electronegativity is the tendency of a bonded atom to attract the bonding electrons. A more electronegativity element attracts the bonding electrons from the less electronegative element.
If the bond atoms in covalent bond have same electronegativity, they form pure or non-polar covalent bond whereas the difference in electronegativity induces polarity in the bond and form polar covalent bond.
- If the electronegativity difference is 0.2-0.5 = Pure or non-polar covalent bond
- If the electronegativity difference is 0.5-1.6 = Polar covalent bond
- If the electronegativity difference is more than 1.6 = Ionic bond

Using radii from Resource section 1 (p.901) and Born-Lande equation, calculate the lattice energy for PbS, which crystallizes in the NaCl structure. Then, use the Born-Haber cycle to obtain the value of lattice energy for PbS. You will need the following data following data: AH Pb(g) = 196 kJ/mol; AHƒ PbS = −98 kJ/mol; electron affinities for S(g)→S¯(g) is -201 kJ/mol; S¯(g) (g) is 640kJ/mol. Ionization energies for Pb are listed in Resource section 2, p.903. Remember that enthalpies of formation are calculated beginning with the elements in their standard states (S8 for sulfur).
